Divisions Offered – Genesis, Compound, Recurve

Any 4-Her that wants to shoot a compound or recurve bow will need to supply their own bow, arrows, and additional equipment. Sevier County 4-H has Genesis equipment available for use by team members. Compound and Recurve equipment must be supplied by the athlete.

Sevier County 4-H has Genesis bows available for 4-Hers to use! 4-Hers are welcome to use these for their first two years on the team. After this, we highly encourage you to purchase your own bow! This will allow you more practice time and allow you to grow with your skills on your own bow. If we do not have enough 4-H Genesis bows for all that request them, the use of 4-H bows will go to team members in their first two years on the team.

4-Hers who are in the 8th – 12th grade and compete in the Recurve and Compound division, you are eligible to compete for the minimum score to be invited to the State Archery Invitational. This opportunity is NOT available for Genesis divisions. The state invitational is how the national team is selected. More information can be found here: https://4h.tennessee.edu/shooting-sports/

If a 4-Her chooses to compete in the Recurve or Compound divisions, they will need to supply their own bow. Information about bow requirements and restrictions can be found on the State 4-H Website under Archery Jamboree Rules: https://4h.tennessee.edu/shooting-sports/
